As the diameter of the container decreases, the meniscus becomes more pronounced. The meniscus may be convex (curving upward) or concave (curving downward). Most of the time you will find that the meniscus is concave. The most notable exception is the meniscus that forms from Mercury. When taking measurement readings it is important that the reading is done properly. The following rules must be adhered to: I. Read the meniscus at eye level. Do not read the meniscus from above or below eye level. Significant measurement errors may occur II. Read the bottom of a concave meniscus and the top of a convex meniscus.

∙ 14y agoThe bottom of the upward curve has to touch the meniscus. But if the bottom of the downward curve touches the meniscus, it is not the right measurement you are looking for.

∙ 12y agothe reading of the meniscus should be taken from the line where the liquid touches the wall of both side oe the container. It always form a U shape.

When measuring you do the measurement from the bottom of the meniscus?
You should always measure at the lowest part of the meniscus. The meniscus is a slight curvature at the top of a liquid in a container.
What is a meniscus why it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.
What meniscus is being read if you measuring the volume of dark colored liquids?
1.read the bottom of the curve 2. you must read the meniscus at eye level
What is a meniscus is and how it is used to measure liquids?
A meniscus is the curve of a liquid. Like when you are filling a glass of water, if you continue to put water in the glass after it has reached the top, then the extra water will go above the glass in a curved shape. When you are measuring liquids in for example a graduated cylinder, you would take the measurement from the bottom of the meniscus. I hope this helps!
When measuring out a liquid in a graduate th upper surface of the liquid is called?

What Bart of the dent should be used when measuring volume in a measuring clyinder or tube?
the anser is Meniscus
What laboratory apparatus does not have a meniscus?
A meniscus it the curve of a liquid when it adheres to the side of its container. Only glassware used for measuring volumes of liquids have a meniscus. The scale.

When you are measuring the volume of water in a graduated cylinder do you look at the top of the meniscus or the bottom of the meniscus?
You measure from the bottom of the meniscus. The top of the meniscus can vary wildly depending on the diameter of the tube, or the air pressure, or room temperature.

What is meniscus Why is it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?
Meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid in a container; to measure correctly the volume in a graduated cylinder it is necessary to take into account the meniscus type, convex or concave.

Is a meniscus the scale on a Triple beam balance?
If it is, I'll be damned.a meniscus, as far as I know, is the maximum curve of a liquid in a measuring cylinder. you read the volume from there.
